Product Details:

Are you tired of losing all the heat from your old traditional fireplace? The Ventis HEI240 Wood Burning Insert is an ideal choice for updating your inefficient fireplace. The 2.4 cubic ft firebox is capable of holding up to an 18" log and offers a max burn time of 8 hours on one load of wood. It produces up to 70,000 BTUs and heats up to 2,100 square feet. The non-catalytic secondary burn technology makes the HEI240 insert clean burning and efficient with an emissions rating of 1.54 g/h and an optimum efficiency of up to 77%.

The Ventis HEI240 insert is not only built for heating, the large 16 7/8" x 10 1/4" glass surface allows you to enjoy the beauty of having a fire. The modern stove design is made to fit with any type of decor and will be the focal point of any room. Choose between a 29" x 44" regular faceplate or the 34" x 50" large faceplate to give the insert a finished look to seal around the fireplace opening and the insert. The Ventis HEI240 comes standard with a 144 CFM blower to help push the warmth across the room.

Required Accessories:

Faceplate

The Faceplate is the component that flashes around the fireplace insert and covers the fireplace. The Faceplate for the HEI240 insert is available in two sizes: 29" x 44" and 34" x 50". The size you choose should be based on the opening of your existing fireplace. Choose the 29" x 44" Faceplate size if the opening of your fireplace is less than 29" x 44". If your fireplace opening is greater than 29" x 44", you will want to select the 34" x 50" Faceplate size.

Optional Accessories:

Rigid Firescreen

The Rigid Firescreen allows you to burn wood in the fireplace insert with the door open just like an old-time fireplace. Hear the crackle of the wood, watch the flames dance around in the firebox and relax around the wood insert on a cold winter's night. The Rigid Firescreen is easy to install and easy to remove when you are ready to load more wood. The fireplace insert should not be burning with the door open without the firescreen.

Optional Chimney Liner Kit

Rock-Flex 316Ti stainless steel chimney liner kits are UL listed and the perfect choice to install for your new wood burning insert. Each kit includes the 316Ti Flexible Chimney Liner, Vertical Appliance Connector, 13 x 13 in. Premium Top Plate, and Round Rain Cap.
